Queen's touching gesture for Princess Charlotte that changed the Royal Family forever

Britain is in a period of national mourning following the sad news on Thursday that Queen Elizabeth II has died at the age of 96. And after a 70-year reign that cemented her as the longest reigning monarch in British history, Her Majesty has left behind a legacy that will be remembered for generations.

Among her achievements is the touching gesture she made for her great-granddaughter, Princess Charlotte, which saved the seven-year-old from the unfair shift in royal status that impacted her own daughter, Anne, Princess Royal, and bumped her down the line of succession simply because of her gender, the Daily Express reports.
